[Tagging] tagging for discount stores in US

[Richard Mann]

In the UK, they'd almost certainly be tagged as supermarkets, since
our stores tend to have one product area dominant (eg groceries).
Department stores are large shops with lots of different departments
selling lots of different things from lots of different counters, but
the staff (and the tills) all under one management. Typically with a
large cosmetics department near the front door.
